It turns out that people don't like get wet while watching games in the rain. I wonder what the club can do about this. It is on the tip of my tongue.Quote:

CCS is a morgue. It's a chore going to watch home games, even the rare time we play well it's still not enjoyable with the sh1te atmosphere.Quote:

Interesting article about a europe-wide study of football attendances. It states that our league actually isn't under-supported based on most metrics such as population, league quality etc.
Seems to correlate with another similar report from a few years ago - http://extratime.ie/newsdesk/article...e-attendances/
problem is youve a road going down to the big shed thing at one end dont you, so either that road would have to be moved or the stand would have to go over itQuote:

This will be the third sell out game I think in as many seasons after none in a decade.
There would still be space to build a modest size stand behind the goals near the away end. A temporary stand was in place there twice previously, 2014 EA Sports Cup final v Rovers, and the final league game v Cork that same season.Quote:

Wonder if your stewards will start randomly picking people entering the away end and tell them their not getting in cause they are too drunk, to the Gardai getting involved and them all getting in just before or after kick off.Quote:

It really is co-incidental that it happens to the same clubs, time and time again. It's the same with our crew, it always seems to be the same guys that get picked on.Quote:

What was the crowd for the cup final in Richmond Pk?
6,746 at Cork v Dlk, that's very impressive. Will be interesting to see their next home attendance but that's still a brilliant turn out.
Next home game is against derry so I'd expect a large enough attendance. Not as much as today I think though.Quote:

less than 100 at the UCD game tonight id say
Harps vs Sligo a slightly disappointing 1,751.
Only around 200 Sligo fans at best making the short trip up the road.
Maybe it's just me, but I'm generally happy if the attendance is around or above your club's season average. Granted you'd have higher expectations for the bigger games.
Circumstantial really. A north-west derby, whether it's any combination of Sligo/Harps/Derry, shouldn't really be going below 2,000 attendances.Quote:

1700 is a good turnout. Bar the one offs like Derry to not be miles off a 2k attendance is grand. Sligo's poor standing currently wouldnt have generated the massive derby interest. If an average can be held in and around 1700 at Harps as ye try to consolidate a permier place with mid-table safety that things are not so bad especially when population trends are factored in.Quote:
